Just like what Nigerians witnessed during the just concluded Ekiti State elections, Osun state is presently faced with tension of varying degrees. While the Federal Government imported heavy security personnel to ensure an inch free elections, electorates in most sector and section of the state are fully dressed in different party regalia to show support for his or her preferred candidate.
Given analysis on happenings from the state capital, Osogbo, Osun electorates are more than ready to elect who pioneer the affairs of the state in the next four years. While some electorates expresses fear based on the presence of heavy security personnel and militarization of the environment, others are gallantly ready and disposed to partake in the the process; noting that the presence of the security will only create room for level playing ground among the candidates.
Our source gathered that the election umpire in the other hand (Independent National Electoral Commission) have started dispatching the National Youth Service Csorp members scheduled to assist the body in the conduct and collation of results to local government and wards in preparation for the exercise.
